The new Security Operations Center Services is the first of a new portfolio of cyber-security products and services being developed by SITA.
SITA chief executive officer Barbara Dalibard said: “As an industry we need to move faster in developing new cyber-security solutions that mitigate the risk of ever-changing threats.
“This requires constant collaboration and innovation. With SITA and Airbus CyberSecurity uniquely placed at the heart of the air transport industry, we can facilitate innovation and information-sharing through services such as the Security Operations Center Service, providing solutions our customers demand and need.”
The two companies have joined forces to use their expertise in detecting several cyber activities that are relevant to airlines and airports.

Airbus CyberSecurity head François Lavaste said: “Air transport is part of the Airbus DNA, so it was only natural that we joined forces with SITA to adapt our innovative cyber-security solutions to this new service area, which is experiencing exponential growth.
